Awesome fun today at #inflatableworld. Such a good workout! Mum had just as much fun as the kids. Have you been?

The kids were in the kitchen and made #happyface cake and #chocolatebrownies. #schoolholidays #tassiekids

This is what I need right now. My bright #mandms mug and #chamomiletea. I need to block stuff out, turn inwards and rebalance. Hopefully when I come back out, it won't feel like everything is so hard. #anxiety #toohard #overwhelmed #exhausted

Saturday night dinner for me? Muesli and strawberries. Simple, yummy and nutritious. Tell me I'm not the only one doing this. #thatshowiroll #muesli #keepitsimple #breakfastfordinner

Mt Wellington was very busy yesterday. The sky was clear and people were string in droves to take in the view of Hobart and beyond from every angle. #mtwellington #hobartandbeyond #instatassie #seetasmania #discovertasmania #tassielife #tasmania #amazingtasmania #clicktasmania #hobarttasmania #instaview

Daily haul from the garden. I am loving my raised garden beds. The tomato bushes are overloaded with fruit. The corn went well in their block-planting sequence. The zucchini, spinach and beet varieties are still producing well thus far in February. It really helped that we watered well over December and into January and we gave them a good dose of #seasol to give them the best start. #vegetablegarden #healthyfood #homegrown #spinach #tomato #corn #silverbeet

A bubble bath to sooth the week away. Accompanied by my favourite things: Lavender&Vanilla Soy candle from @port_arthur_lavender, hot cup of #bushells tea and #lushbathbomb.

We took advantage of the great weather and a short work day. We jumped in the car and headed to our favourite park for a stroll. #newnorfolktasmania #getoutside #tassielife #mazdacx7 #labrador #familyselfie (at Tynwald Park)

I just used some Christmas money. After putting this awesome piece of outdoor furniture in my place, I needed to try it out. It's a tough gig but I did my best! #hammock #beerinhand #derwentvalleytasmania #christmaspresent #kickingback #instatassie #tassielife (at The Valley of Love)

I hope my corn is going to be juicy. #growingcorn #veggiepatch #growyourown
